Black roof on white.

BM.....

I'm sure your neighbor voluntarily informed you that there's a HUGE difference in mil thickness between the Clear Bra material, versus simple vinyl.

That's the reason why the Clear Bra is as durable as it is.

Comparing it regular vinyl used for wrapping, is just not proper.

However, as you've noted, the benefits (of vinyl) are it's ability to be easily removed and return back to the original surface.

bpd... WAY TRUE, I'm with you there.... including your previous post before DJ

He makes his living with the auto and truck wrapping.  He did another neighbor's C6 turning black to red.  Still looks good 6 months later, but I'll admit the C6 is babied. Not only thickness on the vinyl, but UV blocking and durability additives vary.

Don't remember the cost off hand quite honestly. I'd have to break out the phone book thick file on the Taurus and dig through all the receipts.

Here's a couple of pics though.....

Very slick, Mike.  Looks like the entire roof is made of glass!

It looks very nice indeed... When I have my black flex, I have the whole roof painted in silver and was charged 500$ at the dealer. Vinyl would cost about 300$ and another option (which I am about to test) would be plastidip, but with a pearl in it or a metalizer. That last option could be done for about 200-300$. The advantage of vinyl and plastidip is that it is reversible. It should look as nice as the paint for about 3-5 years. When you sell the car, the next buyer can always remove it and have the car like original. Meanwhile, the paint under remains intact.

My point exactly, especially for an easily reversible trial or "temporary" change.  Paint could come later in a few years if you loved it, or change the look if you didn't like it, or wanted to go to stock for trade-in, etc.
